before i dive into this first blog post, i'll share with you a little about who i am. i'm bree. i live up here, in the UP. i am a sophomore in high school and i seriously love taking photos. my dream is to one day become a photographer (imagine that!). and right now, today, i'm trying to turn that dream into reality. i might not be photographer material quite yet, but i hope to be so soon!

even a year ago, i would have never imagined that i'd be here, typing this for you to read and knowing that my pictures will be out for the world to see. i've always loved having a camera in my hands. but for the longest time, i didn't even have one of my own. before i got my own camera, i had my grandpa's camera all. the. time! (if you don't believe me, you can even ask him!) and just recently, for Christmas in fact, i got my own camera. (i'm thinking that my grandpa might have told my mom and dad "get brianna a camera. or else!" he has even told me that, now that i have my own camera, i owe him 173 1/2 hours of time with my camera. and that is only counting time that the camera is actually in use. yes, i really used his camera a lot!) but it's been just miraculous having my own camera. i love it!

i'll be honest with you. i really will. my photos might not be absolutely stunning, but i try my hardest to do my best! i still need practice, lots of it in fact! but i really do try, and the point of this blog is to help share some of my work with this world. maybe get my name out there. who knows?

i have a few readers over my shoulder here, and i'm thinking they're wanting me to hurry up. so i'll just post a few pictures and be on my way i guess.

the other day, we went downtown thinking that we would do a photoshoot of my younger sister. but first my mom had do run into a hockey store, so when we got there, she ran into the store. all of a sudden, i spotted a perfect spot! "quick Aleta, jump out and we'll go snap a few pics while mom's in the store." it all just fell into place, and im pretty pleased at how the pictures turned out, though the lighting was not the greatest. so the photos might have a little bit of 'noise'.

save my favorite for last.

this is Aleta. for awhile she might be a celebrity on this blog. she's so willing to let me take pictures of her! and she's photogenic too! :)

great job! are you able to take any photography classes in school? If not, I'm sure that they have some offered through community ed or something. You are off to a great start and it would be fun for you to get some tips! I love your pictures!
